NOTE: All national ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.

Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.

Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.

Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)

Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

FOOTNOTE: Voice would even been bigger if it wasn’t for the failed “Fashion Star” coming in a dismal fourth. Like a basketball team being down 20 at the half. I may have put last week’s Biggest Loser finale there and put off Fashion till the next week.

New Girl’s finale was pretty damned great last night, so I’m happy the ratings reflect that. This is one show that really came into its own. Bring on season 2!

@ToXiX

How would this work exactly?

Amazing Race has 2 seasons a year at 12 episodes on average a season. That’s 24 weeks.

Survivor has 2 seasons a year at 14-15 episodes on average a season.

So going by Survivor having say 15 eps a season that’d be 30 weeks worth of eps, combine with Amazing Race thats 54 weeks of eps. That’s an incredibly tight schedule.

Survivor is fine where it is anyway, the numbers are good. And Amazing Race 21 is filming soon for the fall season too!.

@William- That’s RIDICULOUS! CBS’s scripted demo average is HIGHER than any of the other broadcast networks. NBC’s wins the last couple of nights was because of The Voice. I’m not a fan of the singing competition shows personally. I’m 35 and even when I was younger they never appealed to me other than the auditions where I can laugh at the bad singers.

As I mentioned before, NCIS is the top rated drama on all of television in both total viewers and the 18-49 demo. The Big Bang Theory (which also airs on CBS) is the top rated comedy on TV in both catagories. Most of the highest rated comedies except for Modern Family air on CBS. So all that BS about CBS is for old folks is completely false.

NBC will finish the season in 3rd place among broadcast networks, and would have finished last if it weren’t for the Super Bowl. CBS will air the Super Bowl this coming season so they will win in a complete and total landslide!

Yeah!! Go New Girl!!! ^_^

I think 9O21O will get a Full Season 5 with at least a 13 episode Season 6. 9O21O is a CW veteran and the sole show that CBS has full rights to(upcoming Beauty and the Beast will be #2). Everything else on The CW is partly owned by WB.

Plus 9-O makes a ton on money(reportedly 2 million per episode) for CBS studious. Shows on CBS make similar amounts as well. Until CBS studios can find a hit, 9O21O will make it to Season 6(at least).

It’s been getting ratings like this since the Spring of ’09. It always performs solidly in the Fall and Weak in the Spring(as do most shows).

@ Polar Bear

There’s one problem with your theory about the Super Bowl and no one caring about Madonna – More people watched the half-time show than the game itself. Nice try though buddy. I always love when people try to slag Madonna off. It’s so comical because she hasn’t been around for 30 years for nothing. She’ll outlast all of us.

@Jenny

Why do you keep posting rumors and hearsay against Christina? Did you post any of the backstage stuff against Adam when he called her a C*** and a B****?

Even if this is true it just makes my point even more that Adam kept Tony around to as a pawn in his fight against Christina.

I don’t usually believe any rumors from TMZ unless it comes from Christina’s mouth she was in love with Tony I don’t believe it.

Yeah an X-Clubber who is probably friends with Tony would say that, if he was that popular why didn’t he go on to become famous oh yeah right lol

@Jeff R
I can’t tell how, but I know it will be renewed.
Only six more days and it will be official.

John A

@Harry yeah but CW was stronger back then. I guess its not impossible for 90210 to grow but just unlikely.

@ Freyja What about the article below? Is every one wrong except Christina ? Another woman like Beyonce should replace Christina. We need a better example for women.

Adam Levine may be the only person publicly feuding with Christina Aguilera, but behind the scenes of The Voice, it’s Christina against the world! ”The entire crew blames Christina for the argument and feud with Adam,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “I’ll be surprised if she is here next year as a judge — and if she is, she will never win the show.”

“Everyone is happy with what Adam did and is completely on his side with this issue,” our source adds.

Adam, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green have proven themselves to be easygoing, but Christina is reportedly making crew members’ lives a living a hell.

“When things get heated — on and off set — the people in makeup have been told to go to Christina and work on her so she doesn’t start complaining or yelling,” our source reveals. “If she starts carrying on and making a scene [with the other coaches], the people in makeup act like a pit crew and rush to her to keep her quiet.”

Jenny

@Freyja How much proof do you need? What about the article below? Is every one wrong except Christina ? Another woman like Beyonce should replace Christina. We need a better example for women.

Christina Aguilera has it out for Tony Lucca on “The Voice” because he spurned her while they worked on The Mickey Mouse Club — this according to a former Mouseketeer.
Ex-Mouse Clubber Dale Godboldo — who starred on the 90s MMC revival alongside Aguilera and Lucca — tells TMZ, Tony was pretty popular in his Disney days

Nick

You know a show’s in danger when it gets the same ratings as Cougar Town…
And what’s all this bull about how Private Practice gets SO much better ratings than Body of Proof. Yes its Renew/Cancel Index is higher, but the R/C index measures ratings from JANUARY to now. BoP was doing better in the fall withDWTS. Meanwhile, PP enjoyed a cushy lead-in from the HIGHEST-RATED DRAMA (with a crossover added in), while BOP was behind the ABC’s biggest flop this season. BOP got 1.6s and 1.7s, while PP has a 1.8 Tuesday average with the lead-in.
So your show will be cancelled. Even if it gets renewed it will be a final season.
Get over it.

Jenny

And Justin Timberlake took Tony Lucca side.

@steph

Clearly there are people watching within the 18-49 demo what I was saying was to demonstrate why live it get 20 million viewers and only a 3.0

Imagin if a young skewing show like New Girl had 20 million viewers, it would get over a 10 in the 18-49 demo based on how it did last night

Kate

90210 wasn’t shown in some areas due to baseball last night, will that make any difference in the final ratings?

tvjunkie

@Jenny yes because the way Beyonce dances is what young girls should be looking up too…okay then.

Awesome for CBS! All the shows did well.

@The End

I forgot about Amazing Race lol

Dawn

Hi. This is my first time to comment on these threads. I read the comments every week and today I just had to jump in.

I am in the targeted CBS age range of 18-49. I’m 34 years old. CBS is the only station I watch (reasons being I don’t have cable,dvr, etc and most of the other network shows haven’t caught my attention). I watch live every week – Amazing Race, How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly, Hawaii 5-0, NCIS, and NCIS LA. There are shows on other nights that I will watch if I happen to be home.

I’ve been a fan of NCIS since it started and had to figure out how to watch it while I was in graduate school. And I love NCIS LA as well.

For those who say that only 50+ watch CBS are wrong. (even my cat watches them, and yes, I’ve seen her actually watching them and not sleeping through them).

I really hope that the Tuesday lineup of NCIS and NCIS LA doesn’t change in the fall as my schedule is set around those two shows.
